The City Council of Brisbane together with the community has devised a set of programs to aid the city’s residents with the rising electric bills and to fulfill the city’s goal to become the most sustainable city in Australia and make great cuts to our carbon emission.
The program is divided in to three parts, to aid individual residents in the best way possible for them-
1)The Green Heart Homes Program will be family centered;aiding families who want to make a real difference for the future of the city. The city council has implemented rebates and incentives together with solar power information sessions. The green heart homes program also tackles water efficiency systems and guidelines on how to protect the environment for every family.
The Green Heart homes program has proven its worth by taking the lead in water conservation and environmental cleaning, and is now aiming to reduce carbon emissions significantly.
The second part of the program is the Green Heart Schools; across Brisbane schools are now turned to a sustainable eco-friendly facility achieved through social mobilisation and careful planning. Currently Bulimba State School, Cannon Hill State School, Jamboree Heights State School, Oakleigh State School and Our Lady of Mount Carmel School are all green schools considering carbon reduction in every aspect and environmental protection.
The program not only aims to directly protect the environment but also to serve as a great example to its studentsand to impart a green heart in everyone that walks the corridors of the schools and to create a strong sense of leadership for environmental protection to its graduates.
The 3rd part of the program is the Green Heart Business; the city council is offering rebates and incentives from small to large scale business to encourage them to have a better and more sustainable future and profits. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions without putting the burden on the commercial sector of the city. The council offers information on how solar panels and other green investments can help them in improving their production and reducing fixed costs and bills.
Collectively the Green Heart programs are centered on the important causes of environmental protection & reducing carbon emissions as well as the cost of living for Brisbane residents. As part of this the city council sees more solar power in Brisbane as the way of the future, as hopefully they will continue to support these valuable green initiatives.
